I try to check step for setting from FlexSim Docs https://docs.flexsim.com/en/23.1/Reference/Tools/Emulation/ConnectingToSiemensS7/ConnectingToSiemensS7.html. I'm not sure It will error because in this step in TIA Portal I don't have I/O Address like this picture to try setting.1686195747753.png

I'm not sure this problem will be about license ? Because when I has adding Simens S7 connecting will notify message Emulation license Not found.

Thank You.

FlexSim 23.0.8

Hello Pongsakorn,

With the release of FlexSim 2023 all emulation protocols except for Modbus and OPC DA require a separate activation ID for the emulation module. Please get in touch with your distributor for a quote.

Good luck

Did you mean it will because I must have Emulation Activation ID only and relevant with PLC setting in TIA Portal, am I right ?

Without an Emulation license, you can add the connection parameters in FlexSim´s interface, but you cannot establish a connection, therefore the warning you mentioned above. You will need both, the FlexSim license AND the Emulation license to run an emulation project including the connection.

OK. So, I understand if thay haven't Emulation Licence it can't "Create" new connection.

And if I want to open and "Monitoring" only. Can I do this ?

Hello, I saw the link and thank you for that, but I already have the same problem because my license for FlexSim is 23.1.4 and the Emulation License that appear on the web is 2024.2.0. Do you know where can I find an early update of that license?

Thank you
